No Drawing.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 30, 1913.

Patented May 12, 1914.

Serial No. 781,981.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PHILIP GRos, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Varnish-Cleaning Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful composition of matter to be used for cleaning and polishing varnished surfaces.

My composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in approximately the proportions stated, viz:

Tetrachlorid of carbon 130 grams. Benzin (pure) 5O Soap solution consisting of white soap 10%, alcohol 90% Varmsh consisting of gum sandarac 1, gum mastic 1, shellac 1, alcohol 10 25 Linseed oil 6 Oil of sweet almond 4 Oil of winter een 4 Chloroform commercial) 5 These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation.

The above-named composition is applied in the following manner: A soft woolen rag artl saturated with the solution. The varnishe article tobe cleaned is then rubbed with the rag until the surface is bright and clean. The composition thus applied not only cleans and brightens the varnish, but supplies this with oil which is quickly absorbed, thus preventing the varnish from drying and cracking.

The composition once applied and thoroughly rubbed in produces a high polish and dries so quickly that dust is revented from approximately the following substances and proportions: tetrachlorid of carbon 130 grams, benzin (pure) grams, soap solution, (consisting of white soap 10%, alcohol 90%) 45 grams, varnish (consisting of gum sandarac 1 art, gum mastic 1 part, shellac 1 part, alco 01 10 parts) 25 grams, linseed oil 6 grams, oil of sweet almond 4 ams, oil of Wintergreen 4 grams, and ch oroform (commercial) 5 grams.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PHILIP GROS.
